Pets.com, which sent you pet food.
There are famous examples of this, and that's often what people think of.

When the bubble burst, a lot of those companies went bankrupt.
And that's often what people are thinking about as they look back at the dot-com bubble.
Just like then, you have companies spending enormous amounts of money on the infrastructure needed to drive on this.
The difference is they are spending a lot more today than they did 25 years ago.

So many of the applications that were promised by all those startups that went out of business are part of our daily lives today.
Amazon delivers our pet food.
Other companies deliver our real-time products.
